[@gabrielarrigone3933]

Gracias Maestro, saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina !!! Viva Perón !!!

[@indepth7552]

Finally someone who explains it well. Thank you.

[@jonmaclennan]

Thank you!

Hi Jon, this is one great lesson. You show all the nuances that really make it sound like the original by Clapton. Man, I've got most of it pretty good, and even put in a little of my own flavor in it. Its a cool tune, bcuz you can slow it down some and it still sounds good too. Thanks for the super effort on your part.

[@chuckyoneill9029]

These are all the kind of lessons i need and you have patience

[@steveconroy7963]

Beautiful sounding and you make it look so easy! I hope some day to get to that level. For now I'm content to use a pick, slowly work up to adding the harder stuff and then take on the finger picking method. Love your tutorials, Jon.

[@darrenl7363]

Great tute thanks, love that you're playing a Maton, great Australian guitar!

[@345kobi]

Certainly a great lesson. Over My head for now but I will be back to learn this.

[@Tom-jn6ci]

Nicely laid out and straight to the point. New subscriber. And thank you. Love the comment about the A7 and Dm, “If it’s good enough for Clapton it’s good enough for me.”

[@jonmaclennan]

Thanks and welcome aboard. Those two chord shapes have a signature Clapton style guitar sound. Keep up the great work!

[@aberhan]

Sweet and simple, slow easy and mellow. Everything I love in blues. 👍

@@jonmaclennan Will do :D thanks

[@joelebenezer3417]

Hey, I'm new here, I have a suggestion for you. It's better if we have a close up experience while you are teaching songs to play. I guess it will be useful.

[@caryrodin5360]

Love this lesson, nicely broken down and explained. Looking forward to digging into more, maybe Layla next :)

Great lesson . Thank you so much very easy to follow. Subscribed. Don't understand the thumbs down. Why . If they can put up a better lesson . Why be nasty ???

[@joebubbit]

Hi John, What's the guitar you're playing? Very nice.

[@andyokus5735]

Listen to Duane Allman's great solo on Gregg doing this tune from the 60's.

[@J.M.Stigner]

can you add the end send of chords please that he finishes the song on please?

[@jonmaclennan]

He goes from the D7/f# at the end to an F for 2 bars then back to D7/f# and two hits on G7 “when your down and out” then plays a blues lick to a B9 C9 ✌️🎸

[@KS-pw3vp]

Hi Jon, the breakdown of the chord progressions is really good. However, i think your explanation and breakdown of the picking fingers can be better explained. Other videos/lessons you post, you explain it all in great detail but I think more detailed explanation of what your picking hand is needed in this lesson.

[@esqigibraltar2609]

thanks

[@jonmaclennan]

Thank you!

[@ernestkee1740]

Jon, could you give a step by step lesson for this song? Like the strings to pluck with each chord, I’m really struggling here, if would be be good if you could give ya buddy a helping hand here :) Thanks!

[@neogeoriffic]

Clapton got that low E hammer on G string from Scrapper Johnson's version of this song.

[@andymcknight9879]

Hi Jon, is that a Maton you’re playing there?

[@jonmaclennan]

Yes sir! It's an EBG808 Artist. Here is a video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmSpgX53frCUfpI

[@andymcknight9879]

@@jonmaclennan nice to se them outside Australia. I have an EM325, they don’t make them anymore but I love the tone and playability. Enjoying your content. Cheers!

[@demonrouge3338]

A D7 is a Clapton blues chord? Anyway. Nicely played. Thank you.

[@jonmaclennan]

You're welcome and yup that D7/F# is totally one of Clapton's go to chord shapes. He loves that one, I think he got it from listening to Robert Johnson, he would do that all the time.

[@stephencarpenteri2223]

I find it easier to play the F, then Adim7 (or a D7), C and A7 again. Much simpler and smoother IMO.

[@kindlylight]

Hi Where is the backing track you mentioned?

Great tutorial. For the record, this song was written in 1923 by Jimmy Cox and popularized by Bessie Smith in her 1929 recording through the 30's. SHE wrote all of those voicings and licks, but EC as awesome as he is, doesn't give credit to the writer, an American Black Woman.

Isn't your A7 not a A6??

Geez dude, great video but cut down those ads man.

[@3_too_won]

Your guitar is that a Maton.

[@SergeLionhart]

I really like this tutorial, but wow that picking. Too much time is devoted to chord progression and not enough on strumming/picking style. It's just brushed over at the end. I still like the rest of the video and all, but I do feel like I'm teaching myself the picking at the end. Otherwise keep up the good work Jon.
